GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE51
In addition to the front center stack power outlet, there is
also a power outlet located in the center console to the left
of the media hub.
Power Outlet — Center Console
NOTE:All accessories connected to these powered outlets
should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in
use to protect the battery against discharge.
Power Outlet Fuse Locations
1 — #12 Fuse 20A Yellow Power Outlet Integrated Center
Stack
2 — #38 Fuse 20A Yellow Power Outlet Center Console
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 W
(13 Amp) at 12 Volts. If the 160 W (13 Amp) power
rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as
this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage
not covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use
(i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory
bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage.

JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle, or by using a portable battery booster
pack. Jump starting can be dangerous if done improperly,
so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the
manufacturer's operating instructions and precautions.
PREPARATIONS FOR JUMP START
The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk.
Remote battery posts are located on the right side of the
engine compartment for jump starting.
Remote Jump Starting Post Locations
NOTE:The remote battery posts are viewed by standing on the
right side of the vehicle looking over the fender. The
positive battery post may be covered with a protective cap.
Lift up on the cap to gain access to the positive battery
post. Do not jump off fuses. Only jump directly off the
remote positive post which has a positive (+) symbol on or
around the post.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other
booster source with a system voltage greater than
12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
